Pics of the new Supersucker "track' lower airbox

I agree with hazmatt, physically speaking you cannot "ram" air into an engine @ normal car velocities (sub 300-450mph I'd say). You will reduce intake temperatures, but there will not be much if any of a pressure charge. Lots of flow, not much pressure.

I'm not saying its a bad kit though [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

That's a damn big scoop. Don't drive in the rain. :eek:

I believe that it will show good results, take it to the track and dyno and let us know.

I let you know when the track opens in the beginning of April what the results are. I'll try the track version, the normal supersucker, and no CAI.

If you really want to make a science project out of it, you can get a differential pressure gauge, and just gauge the pressure difference between a point in the scoop intake, and a point in front of the original airbox intake. Doing the same with two thermocouples will show if you're taking colder air into the engine.

The presssure and temperature differences should correlate directly to the amount of "ram boost" you're getting. I might try this some day if I get motivated.

Trying not to hijack: I always wanted to use a differential pressure gauge to make a "draft sensor" - measure the DP at the nose and tail of a car, and as you start pulling close enough to another car at sufficient speeds, the DP should decrease, enabling a rough estimate of how well you're drafting them. The amount of thermo and fluid dynamics I've taken always has little ideas like this spinning through my head.

Hey man! Another guy from Tucson! Whats up! Shoot me an E-Mail sometime....

Back on subject:
If I saw a car on the street with that scoop, I would think it was one of those cars that you put on the track with the slot, and you have the gun to control the speed... [img]smile.gif[/img]
I bet it does its job though... [img]redface.gif[/img]

Remember, this is only for the strip.

Dammm. That reminds me of a girl I knew....lol
Very kewl

hope you dont plan on bringing the front wheels off the ground cuz if you do that things gonna be in about 374 pieces when you come down on it...

Remember this is only for the track. You wouldn't be drag racing if it's raining.
